2) Message boards : Number crunching : How hot may an Intel Core duo E6600 become? (Message 29526) Posted 13 Jul 2007 by old_user221094 Post: Quad core Q6600, with Scythe Infinity cooler running 4 models at room temp of about 26C gives me a cpu temp of 48-50. Which seems generally OK to me. --Richard

3) Questions and Answers : Windows : Unable to communicate with project server... (Message 29490) Posted 9 Jul 2007 by old_user221094 Post: Well, I fixed my problem, somehow :). It was indeed (trying) to communicate with targhee, not climateapps2, why I have no idea, since in the master_climateprediction.xml file the scheduler was specified as climateapps2. However it had something to do with the client_state.xml file. Just to try, I restored a backup from before when the problem started and sure enough the problem went away. Now when I did an update it tried to connect to climateapps2 and all was fine. So I restored the latest backup, but overlaid that with the climate_state.xml file from the working backup, with a little hand editing to update fields within it. Now when I fired it up, it was back to its latest point and when i did an update it connected fine and uploaded the 4 queues trickles it had by that time. Unfortunate side effect though is that my server status is now Over Unknown New (but that\'s no worse than restoring from a backup anyway) But how did \'targhee\' get embedded in that file? And why was BOINC stubbornly trying to use that instead of climateapps2. That\'s still a mystery, but at least I\'m running again now! --Richard

4) Questions and Answers : Windows : Unable to communicate with project server... (Message 29461) Posted 6 Jul 2007 by old_user221094 Post: Definitely a mystery. The scheduler listed in the master file is indeed climateapps2, and if I ping it, the ping works. The server status for it seems to be green.. but still I can\'t connect :(. The machine next to it works just fine. I\'m stumped I\'m afraid :( --Richard

Hmm, all servers SAY they\'re up. Wonder if I have got something corrupt that\'s directing me to an invalid server or something.... --Richard (edit) Hmm, netstat tells me that I tried to contact a machine called \'targhee.open.ac.uk\' Is this expected?

7) Questions and Answers : Getting started : teamname - encoding problem (Message 28712) Posted 15 May 2007 by old_user221094 Post: Fossilised reply, but just for interest. That encoded sequence in the XML is the UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode U+FFFD, which is the \'replacement\' character. It\'s used when you are trying to convert something to Unicode and that conversion failed. So in otherwords, whatever is generating that XML is trying to translate the a umlaut and u umlaut to UTF-8 and failing (maybe because it\'s assuming ASCII source or something?) However this doesn\'t explain what actually ended up in BOINCstats. Somehow the \'real\' data got through to it, otherwise we\'d have seen � in the team name on the pages, not ä (for the a umlaut) As a matter of interest I had a look through some Japanese team names. Most just use English names (probably because they worked out that Japanese names didn\'t work :)) I didn\'t find any with correctly displaying Japanese names, I did find some with names displaying the same symptoms as we see here (UTF-8 displayed as 8859-1) All of this is too late to be of any interest I suspect, I\'ve been way way too busy recently. --Richard

8) Questions and Answers : Getting started : teamname - encoding problem (Message 27958) Posted 17 Apr 2007 by old_user221094 Post: Sorry about the delay in reply, had to get my daughter to bed. I wouldn\'t think so. It\'s definitely UTF-8 that\'s appearing on the boincstats pages and it looks like the correct (2 byte) UTF-8 sequences are being used. Unfortunately the page is being served as an ISO8859-1 page and as a result the 2 byte sequence is not being interpreted as one character, but as two. I notice that the climateprediction page for that team is also a 8859-1 encoded page, but in this case the correct code values are being used. \'ä\' is encoded as the single byte 0xE4 in 8859-1 and this is being used on the cpdn pages. I don\'t know how the team name is getting propagated to the boincstats servers, but something in the way has translated that to UTF-8. The encoding for \'ä\' in UTF-8 is the 2 byte sequence 0xC3 0xA4. However if you read that as 8859-1 then instead of translating that sequence into the one character U+00E4 (ä) it gets viewed as the 2 8859-1 characters 0xC3 and 0xA4. 0xC3 is a Ã, 0xA4 is a ¤ To fix the problem you need to make sure that whatever is sending the team names to boincstats is doing so in an encoding that boincstats understands. There\'s nothing at all wrong with UTF-8, and my preferred solution is for boincstats to use UTF-8 in its webpages. Not only would this fix this problem, it\'d also allow teams (and names) to use any character. Such as Japanese or Korean characters... Which is quite impossible in 8859-1, there\'s only 256 characters in that characterset, as opposed to about 1.1 million in Unicode... (although I think only about 150,000 are currently in use) --Richard

9) Questions and Answers : Getting started : teamname - encoding problem (Message 27947) Posted 17 Apr 2007 by old_user221094 Post: You\'re sending UTF-8 (A unicode encoding) to the Boincstats site, but that site is expecting (probably) CP1252 (possibly ISO 8859-1). Solution, EITHER whatever is sending the data to Boincstats needs to send what that site expects (try CP1252), OR (better) Boincstats should support Unicode (UTF-8) There\'s a Japanese term for this... mojibake :) --Richard <edit> Just verified. Boincstats is serving the page up encoded as ISO8859-1. And stuffing UTF-8 into it. A bit naughty!. They should change the content=\"text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\"> at the top of their served pages to content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\">
